Moreover, abciximab increases the risk of adverse clinical outcomes, suggesting that it should not be added to standard antiplatelet therapy in this patient population.</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume></record></records></xml>
